Contenido

This comprehensive and up-to-date reference work and resource book covers
state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice for bridge engineering worldwide.
Counties covered include Canada and the United States in North America;
Argentina and Brazil in South America; Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Serbia,
Slovakia, and Ukraine in the European continent; China, Indonesia, Japan,

The book examines the use of different materials for each region, including
stone, timber, concrete, steel, and composite. It examines various bridge types,
including slab, girder, segmental, truss, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed. A
color insert illustrates select landmark bridges. It also presents ten benchmark
comparisons for highway composite girder design from different countries; the
highest bridges; the top 100 longest bridges, and the top 20 longest bridge
spans for various bridge types including suspension, cable-stayed, extradosed,
arch, girder, movable bridges (vertical lift, swing, and bascule), floating,
stress ribbon, and timber; and bridge construction methods.
